Pretty & Polished Jawbreaker

Good morning everyone! Today I have an awesome polish from etsy to show you guys. It really seems like indie/franken/handmade (whatever you want to call it) polish is the new hot thing...I gotta say, I am a fan. I enjoy buying polish from people who love it just as much as I do. It also seems like 99% of what people are doing on etsy is a bazillion times better than anything the major brands are doing right now. It's refreshing to go through an etsy shop and be able to say I've never seen anything like most of the polishes being sold...how often do you say that somewhere like Ulta? For me, never haha!

Pretty & Polished is a brand that I've seen on a couple other blogs and I finally caved and bought a few polishes. Jawbreaker is the first of the 4 I bought that I've tried out! Jawbreaker is a milky white jelly packed with multiple sizes & shapes of blue, gold, green, purple and red glitter. This polish rules and it totally does take me back to being a kid and eating jawbreakers, I love appropriately named polishes lol! The formula was great on this, it looked good at 2 coats but I wanted more red square glitter on my nails so I ended up doing 3 coats when I wore it.

Sorry about not holding the actual polish bottle for these, I bought it in the mini size and those bottles are a pain to hold and have my fingers not looking all crazy! :)

Pretty & Polished can be found on etsy here, the mini bottles are $4.50 and full sized bottles are $8.00. It looks like Jawbreaker is sold out right now but it should be back this week according the news thing at the top of her store!

That looks really similar to the jelly sandwich Glitta Gloves made. I think she used the OPI Funny Bunny and a Lynnderella polish... Except the Lynnderella polish had no micro glitter. She could have saved some time with this one! Very cute.

I love this polish and am wearing it right now...it's been on since Saturday and I haven't wanted to take it off! I can't seem to get any of the red diamond glitters yet, they're stuck to the bottom and sides of the bottle :/

Adria - there's usually a button under the store message which tells Etsy to email you when the store opens up again - I've used it specifically for stalking frankens and it works like a dream - I got in on the last NerdLacquer sale because of it! :)
